Make Me a Home Lyrics

(Doyle 2014)

Don’t want to ramble anymore
Want all the wandering to be over
I just want to sit here in the shade
and listen to the birds sing in the morning sun that’s coming through the porch screen

Make me a home
I want to plant my roots down
I want to find my people in this little community
I want to plant some seeds
I want to watch them grow
I want to harvest the abundance that comes with concentrated love
Make me a home

Don’t want to wake up wondering where I am
Don’t want to carry all my belongings on my back
Just want to set it all down
And wake up to the same birds singing in the morning sun coming through the porch screen

Make me a home
Just a little space
Where I can write some songs and paint a lot of pictures
Where I can hear my heart
Singing loud and clear
So it can sing with yours and anyone’s who’s near
Make me a home

Don’t want to eat whatever’s in town
Don’t want long hours in the car, or bus, or plane, or train
Just want to cook in my own kitchen
And eat near the birds singing in the evening sun that’s coming through the porch screen

Make me a home
I want to plant my roots down
I want to find my people in this little community
I want to hear my heart
Singing loud and clear
So it can sing with yours and anyone’s who’s near
Make me a home
